Writing Jobs

When most people think of writers, they think of fiction writers struggling
to produce great novels. With the exception of those very few writers who make
bestseller lists, far more writers make a living in technical writing than in
any other writing job.

Technical writing is great for writers who have good technical aptitude.
Technical writers these days are often software documentation writers, but many
are writers documenting hardware (anything from washing machines to aircraft
carriers), medical and pharmaceutical products, and other technical subjects.

Of course, you need more than just writing skills to be a good tech writer.
You've also got to be able to learn technical material by reading engineering
documents (specs in the software business), talk with SMEs (that's Subject
Matter Experts), and work with the product (unless it's a nuclear warhead or
something similar). Your goal is to acquire a thorough knowledge of the product
so you can then turn around and explain it in your document.
